St. Paul’s Avenue Installation

The St. Paul’s Avenue Installation went up on October 3rd and will be up throughout October, 2011. It is located on St. Pauls Avenue between Cebra and Taxter. Initial plans to have the text and image posters side by side were changed, because the site specific installation (on an area of sidewalk that is no longer usable) might pose a threat to viewers if they crossed the street to read the text poster (the image poster is clearly visible across the street). So the text poster was placed about 20 feet away where it can approached from still usable sidewalk.
